Considerations about the concept of “terroir”: definition and research direction

Abstract

On exposera la distinction et la relation entre: “Etude des milieux”, “Zonage Petit ou Zonage Technique ou Sub Zonage”, “Grand Zonage”, “Délimitation des zones productives” ex. vitivinicoles, entre “Terroir”, “Territoire”, “Terra – Nature”, “Univers” d’après la “Grande Filiera” (“Grande Filière”), entre “Qualité organoleptique classique” (technique), “Qualité perçue par le Consommateur ou Préférence” et les autres “qualités” (environ 90) , entre “Pyramides de la Qualité classique”, “Pyramide du Consommateur”, Pyramide de la “Quantité – Préférence”, etc. 
Il est mis en évidence que les “zonages” (“Grands Zonages” selon le “Grande Filiera”) doivent descendre et s’harmoniser avec les objectifs (“Grands Objectifs”selon la “Grande Filiere”) de l’activité [maximum (meilleur) profit économique socio environnemental existentiel éthique meta éthique selon la “Grande Filiere”] et non pas avec les moyens utilisés pour atteindre ces objectifs (ex. “terroir”, “qualité organoleptique classique”, “paysage”, “tourisme”, les techniques de culture, etc., etc.). On souligne par ailleurs l’importance fondamentale qu’assume de plus en plus la “Qualité Economique”, la “Qualité Socio-Environnementale”, la “Qualité Existentielle”, la “Qualité Ethique” selon le “Grande Filiera”, l’ approfondissement de façon adéquate et la définition de manière universelle de la terminologie et, à la fin, le lien de la technique, de la recherche aux objectifs et non pas aux moyens.

Grapevine vigour is correlated with N-mineralization potential of soil from selected cool climate vineyards in Victoria, Australia

Excess vigour has been a problem on fertile soils under high rainfall in many cool climate regions of Australia. High and low vigour blocks were selected in vineyards of the cool climate regions of King Valley, Yarra Valley and Mornington Peninsula, Victoria.

FERMENTATION POTENTIAL OF INDIGENOUS NON-SACCHAROMYCES YEASTS ISOLATED FROM MARAŠTINA GRAPES OF CROATIAN VINEYARDS

The interest in indigenous non-Saccharomyces yeast for use in wine production has increased in recent years because they contribute to the complex character of the wine. The aim of this work was to investigate the fermentation products of ten indigenous strains selected from a collection of native yeasts established at the Institute for Adriatic Crops and Karst Reclamation in 2021, previously isolated from Croatian Maraština grapes, belonging to Hypopichia pseudoburtonii, Metschnikowia pulcherrima, Metschnikowia sinensis, Metschnikowia chrysoperlae, Lachancea thermotolerans, Pichia kluyveri, Hanseniaspora uvarum, Hanseniaspora guillermondii, Hanseniaspora pseudoguillermondii, and Starmerella apicola species, and compare it with commercial non-Saccharomyces and Saccharomyces strains.

UNRAVELLING THE ROLE OF LACTIC ACID BACTERIA ON SPARKLING WINE ELABORATION THROUGH METABOLOMICS APPROACH

Xinomavro is a red grape variety from Northern Greece (Protected Designation of Origin), known for the nice acidities, perfectly appropriate for sparkling wine production (Rosé and Blanc de Noir). The elabo- ration of sparkling wine requires technical as well as scientific skills. Although the impact of the yeast strains and their metabolites on the final product quality is well documented, the action of bacteria still remains unknown.
The present work focuses (i) on the population diversity of lactic acid bacteria isolated from sparkling wines and (ii) on the technological effect of the species during sparkling wine elaboration.

Immobilization of S. cerevisiae and O. œni for the control of wine fermentation steps

Controlling the speed of alcoholic (AF) and malolactic (MLF) fermentations in wine can be an important challenge for the production of certain short rotation wines for entry-level market segments. Immobilization techniques for Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Œnococcus œni, the microorganisms responsible for these fermentations, are widely studied for industrial applications. Indeed, these processes allow to accumulate biomass and thus to increase cell densities inducing high fermentation velocities. Recent works have shown the performance of MLF carried out with biofilms of O. œni, immobilized on various supports in a rich medium (MRSm: modified MRS broth with malic acid and fructose).

Influence of short-time skin maceration combined with enzyme treatment on the volatile composition of musts from fresh and withered fiano winegrapes

AIM: The increasing market competitiveness is promoting the production of special dry wines with distinctive characteristics, obtained either from minor winegrape varieties and/or the inclusion of partially dehydrated grapes.
